My brother, they did not send any acknowledgement mail, but there was pop up that I've successfully applied.

Anything wey dem won do make dem do. Their wahala too much, den no go kill me for applying with Bsc alone. Embargo everywhere. I only applied because I want a better offer.

I just pray to gather enough money, then relocate to Canada permanently. This country Nigeria is messed up.

.


Bros, we plenty ooo not only you want to Canada ooo.


Embargo everywhere. If not 10 years experience now 15. If not this now, professional certification or Masters degree is an added advantage. You

I don't cry foul for any Nigerian politician again
Or pity any political party again.

Before I would take any government serious again or political party, they should be able to


1) Just for the benefit of the doubt, they should be able to provide ordinary 15,000 MW. I called it "ordinary " because it is not a difficult thing in this 21st century to put mechanical mechanism in place to generate power. It is not rocket science because the technology is there to do it.
If South Africa could generate 40000MW then 15000MW is ordinary to me with my experience in engineering

2) They should be able to revive Ajaokuta Steel Company.

Anything short of this then that government is not serious.

chyna4luv:
I don't have a Master's degree, I only have Bsc and I have applied successfully.

Anything dey won do make dem do, I do tire for all this condition to apply for jobs.

CV Format

Something happened some months ago, I was driving to work when a friend flagged me down and give me one CV to submit personally for him for an opening we were filling through placement.

I took the CV to the Lead of the team handling that recruitment, he told bluntly "xxxxxx, you know I can't accept this CV"

"I understand". I left her office.

The way it was presented is something if accepted, my friend would be standing before panel to defend.

Though there is no standard for CV, but it should look professional.

Here are few things you might try considering:

1. Avoid too much white spaces on your CV. Try using this spacing multiple and 1.15 to eliminate unnecessary white spaces.

2. Alignment: Justify

3. Font: Try Verdana size 11. There is something about that font that stands out. It is so catchy to the eyes.

Arial is too heavy and NewTimesRoman is generic.

3. For entry positions, a CV of 2-3 pages is perfect. Avoid 1 paged CV at all cost.

4. Try arranging your Name as Header 1, Address as (H2), phone number (H3) and Linkedin profile and email as (H4). Avoid putting your other social media url.

Please avoid this:

NAME: Lekan Idris

Address: 12 xxxx, Road, Zaria, Kaduna.

Phone Number: Bleep xxxx Bleep.

Email: LekanIdris@gmail.com

5: Your professional summary (profile) should come next. It should be specific to the position you are applying for.

If you are applying for as Accountant, make it specific to that. This is your first opportunity to sell yourself.

Keep it short.

Present it thus:

PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY

I am a bla bla bla.

6: Your personal profile should follow next. This is where your date of birth and others come.

PERSONAL PROFILE

Death of Birth:

Marital Status:

Please avoid religion and state of origin. Don't dare put nationality, unless you are not a Nigerian.

7. Present your working experience. Please don't tell us what what your roles were. I tell us what you achieved serving in those roles.

8. Your education just come next, then professional certifications and training if any.

9. Present your skills last. Some people present theirs first before working experience.

I don't like it. Even my colleagues don't. It feels as if you are trying to push something into our face.

10. Avoid listing your hobbies unless they are related to the position you are applying for.

11. Don't put your reference yet.

12. You don't have to be artistic. Just put it on white and black.

Like I said before, there is no standard format. Which ever format you choose, keep it simple and professional.

If you know the name of the recruiter, use it on the Cover letter.

Sir, I was told that in Professional Summary or CV, it is not advisable to use personal pronoun like "I", "We" or "You". for instance

Professional Summary :

"I am an experienced mechanical engineer seeking a challenging position( name of the position) where my resourceful experience, technical skills and innovative ideas will add value in organisational operations. "

That it should be " An experienced mechanical engineer with over 3 years experience... "


Sir, how true is this? Explain Sir. Know fully well what is acceptable in A is not acceptable in B or vice versa.





Thanks and God bless you

OfficialAPCNig:
Boss, believe me it would be too risky for any of us to give out any info that would be tied back to us.

We will be filling some position for some oil servicing companies in SS in the first quarter, if I am assigned that task, I would create a thread and mention you.

I will tell you how to make your CV get personally to me. I will only do this for you and the first guy I told.

Once you guys pass the preliminary test, then we might work out something. I would do all these without you knowing me personally.

LaudableXX can you help explain more why we are protecting our identity?

.

Thanks OfficialAPCNig, Thanks Oga At The top. May God Bless you.

OfficialAPCNig and LaudableXX,


I studied mechanical engineering and with some years of experience. I really need you guys help here. Some things are not to be discussed here.
May God use one of you to bless someone here.


OfficialAPCNig, I have sent you a mail but you have not replied me yet while LaudableXX responded that he is not making use of that email account again.


You can contact me via 08160233032 (my whatsAap number also) or michaellelecy@gmail.com, just flash me and I will call back.

Thanks as I await for a response. May God bless you both.


You both are HR Professionals. No Victor, No Vanquish.

akeusola93:
Officialapcng... Pls take a look at this situation.... I have B. Agric 2nd class upper (4.11cgpa). But i am very very gud in calculations and statistics, i even coach some Nigerians studying abroad. I av passion to work in bank or any position in a gud company that involves finance and calculations. But anytime i put in for a position similar to accounting and finance... nobody will accept that because i have B.Agric.

.


Yes, you have said it all by yourself and you have highlighted the reasons why we were not called.

OfficialAPCNig and LaudableXX ,


We are following. The two of you men dont want to bow for one.



These are two HR professionals.


Mr. OfficialAPCNig agrees Mr. LaubableXX has some valid points. At least, you have seen he is a professional too with many years of experience. Also, we learn from one another or each other. No man is an island. It is where someone knows reach that is where someone else starts from. The qualifications someone has is not nothing to someone else.


This is how one Professor who has gone to germany and other countries humble one PIT guy who was bragging here.


Lastly, President Buhari doesn't have all these qualifications yet he is the President of Nigeria.

OfficialAPCNig And LaudableXX, please reply my email messages I sent to both of you.


Thanks

OfficialAPCNig and LaudableXX, we are following you guys here.

This is clash of the titan Among two professional HRs.


No retreat, No surrender.

majekdom2:
how did you get your UN job? You have zero attention to detail. He said he will not allow figures for email as this lekan18 but will allow for lekanidris18. Go back and read

.




majekdom2, you again? That was how you attacked me then. We quarreled here.

In an economy where we don't have a lot of industries or companies, recruiters find flimsy excuse to disqualify to qualifiable candidates.


Can I ask the recruiter a question? Remember in the good old days, people were employed without a mail address. CV and Cover letter should be the first prerequisite for employment it is because there are no jobs in Nigeria some recruiters treat graduates badly or unfairly.


I don't blame some of you recruiters, I blame the economy and bad leaders we have in Nigeria.

Nigeria we be great again when graduates will be begged to work. Nothing last forever. Nothing is permanent.

Ok

Drury Industries limited would have been a good place for an Engineer who needs the experience but due to some certain factors.


If it is experience, you will get it at Drury. Manufacturing alum and acid, sulphuric acid to be precise. Their alum plant and acid plant have a lot things to learn their as an Engineer especially an Engineer without experience.


When you are in Drury, you can get a better job else where because of the experience you will acquired there but REMEMBER there is no JOB SECURITY at Drury.


Life itself is not fair. Life itself is a risk so I urge you to go and get EXPERIENCE. You can work with other Engineers there and they will guide. God will guide you.


Good luck to you

[quote author=oneolajire post=69285107]‎

India produces 0.9 million barrels per day, mbpd, of crude oil and refines 4.5mbpd as a result of the 25 refineries she has. She achieves this by importing petroleum for her self built  refineries (read the contribution of Engineers India Limited, EIL, to India's success story). Nigeria's crude oil production is 2mbpd but refines about 0.2mbpd in her four dilapidated refineries.


My question is how has Christianity prevented the functioning of our refineries or construction of new ones?  When India was establishing EIL to help in construction aspect of the petroleum industry, what was Nigeria doing? Today EIL is into almost all aspects of engineering. Several other non oil producing nations import crude oil, build refineries and sell refined products to a prodigal nation like Nigeria. I still keep wondering why Nigeria didn't  build a refinery once every four years since 1960.

The steel industry in South Korea, Iran and other Asian nations started almost the same time with  Ajaokuta Steel Complex and the Delta Steel Company  (with about a million tonne installed capacities each). Several years later, the production capacities of the steel companies in those Asian nations have been surpassed and they have become masters in steel technology. Unfortunately, Nigeria's steel project is still a mirage.

You'll wonder if Christians are to be blamed for the woeful performance of Nigeria's  steel industry. You'll wonder if a stoppage in tithe payment will raise both steel production by reviving the steel plants from comatose or bring about new stell plants. It is a pity to see the church being blamed for the consequences of failed politicians and their policies.

Take a look into the educational sector to see the laudable things being done by the church from the establishment of the first primary school, 1843 in Badagry, till the time government mischievously and forcefully took over private primary and secondary schools. Qualitative education was a trademark of those good old days. It is now obvious that the government bastardised the educational system, later gave room for the church and the private sector to come to their rescue.

It is so terrible to see Christians as a threat in all areas of  socio-economic investments, as she is being castigated for all government's inefficiencies. I believe Nigeria's educational standard would have been much better than what we have now if the church's participation had not been been interrupted in the first place.

Malaysia took oil palm seedlings from Nigeria in the 70's, today Nigeria imports palm oil from Malaysia. Malaysia's palm oil refineries are bigger than Nigeria's petroleum refineries while Nigeria keep producing palm oil- and other farm produce- the primitive way. Agric graduates roam the streets seeking for employment because they are unequipped to revolutionise the agricultural system.

Why do we have to blame the church for the government's neglect of the agricultural sector as well as running a monolithic oil economy? Why don't we hold the government responsible for not revolutionising the agricultural sector? Are non christians not part of nation building as well?

Asian Tigers, UAE and other developing nations had rapid transformations as a result of the developmental principles they applied. Life is governed by rules, laws and principles, if you abide by them, you'll succeed. Some African nations are embracing developmental principles of massive investment in education and industrialisation while Nigeria is investing in kleptocracy, nepotism and illiteracy.

Christian critics talk as if we'll immediately have good roads, electricity and all other social amenities when tithes are not being paid. They see Christians as the reason why Nigeria's unemployment troop is increasing daily. 

Silicon Valley was started by graduates of Stanford University (such as William Hewlett and David Packard) and today, it is seen as the world headquarters of information technology and hi-tech products. As Havard undergraduates, Mark Zuckerberg and Eduardo Saverin were able to create facebook in their room. The quality of education offered by American universities made these possible, but Nigeria educational system turn graduates into pop-corn, car wash and beer palour entrepreneurs.

Read my articles "entrepreneurship in Nigeria is a Scam and a multiplier of poverty" Part 1 and Part 2.

https://www.nairaland.com/2983340/entrepreneurship-nigeria-scam-multiplier-poverty

https://www.nairaland.com/3102449/part-2-entrepreneurship-scam-nigeria

More than 40 percent of Nigerian Christians don't attend church at all or attend irregularly. More than thirty percent of Nigerian church goers don't pay tithe. More than sixty percent of "tithers" pay lesser than ten percent of their income as tithe, while many still pay irregularly. I still wonder how a little set of faithfull tithers are being crucified for Nigeria's underdevelopment.

The onus of national development lays on tithers, non-tithers as well as christians and non-christians, especially the leaders in the public sector who are the main policy makers. Nigeria needs someone like Late Lee Kuan Yew of who single-handedly provided the visionary leadership for his country that lacked almost all the natural resources- including water- and transformed Singapore into a great nation.

Orphanages, universities, primary and secondary schools, football clubs, hospitals, skill acquisition centres and many more are what Christians, churches and tithers have invested in, so they should be applauded for their selfless contributions to nation building.


What Nigeria needs presently is to see how we can encourage churches to invest more in projects that can bring rapid transformation to Nigeria. This will be the focus of my next article.‎
 


Pls just sent you a mail. Let us chat outside here. I love your articles all. You must have engineering background.

Without reading this "entrepreneurship in Nigeria is a Scam and a multiplier of poverty" Part 1 and Part 2.,
I know entrepreneurship in Nigeria is a big scam to decieve the masses. Even SAED I'd NYSC is a scam.

America don't preach entrepreneurship like the way Nigeria is doing it. They just give you the enabling environment to become entrepreneur if you wish. Mark Zuckerberg didn't struggle to climb the ladder of entrepreneurship the way graduates are struggling in Nigeria

The past few weeks have been very busy for me, I have gotten invitations all over for various recruitment tests and Interviews. I scaled all down to the last stage but the final interview always doesn't favour me. There was this one I had even done medicals for and still got a reject after the final interview.
These are things I know about my job application.
My CV is definitely top notch because I get many invites.
I'm intelligent because I pass almost all .
recruitment test.
I sell myself also because I pass the HR almost always.
Just the final interviews hold me back.
Please what could be the problem?

I have hands-on experience in pig farming many years ago...

Pig business is very lucrative but it is time consuming.
They eat
cassava peels
Corns. You can get corns and grind it and mix it with their food. Even suya beans.


Pigs give birth alot may be like 15, 18, 20, 25 or 30 as the case may be. When you breed them well, they will save. You can also castrate the male ones. castration is done every one month after birth or two months. Pigs need water a lot, water is very important is pig farming. Not just water you can put on a bowl, a flowing water where they can bath or sleep or rest. You can construct a pit for them. I know how to castrate a lot.

You be giving them injection every three months.
